D-S, Add an injector at the base of your trumpet and hire out for mosquito control. Looks great...

Shark.. given that Zika is in PR and the VIs, you have a 4-cyl. mosquito fogging machine. I am sure they would allow a little noise in exchange for this public service.

"No baffle officer; it disturbs the atomization of the chemicals. And, I need to due this fast. There is a lot of need."

Cheers.

Update: I have a little situation. Battery!! Red top, Yellow Top, Odyssey PC625 and XS Power battery.. Wiring has started but I need a battery. What you guys have in mind to use? I like the slim batteries. But will they last?

P.S. No stereo will be used.

Update: Battery tray welded in, Red top battery install, Ground bar install in the front n rear of the bug, rear shocks on, Dash gauges wired up, Wires pulled thru, MSD Box wired.

When you think you got it all... You dont!! SMH... Anyone got good Oil Shocks for the front ball joint they don't mind parting with! Very Happy

Here the 2387cc first start up!

Awesome build, really like the chassis you chose. Do you have any pics of how you mounted the side pods in the wheel well and on the bottom.

Hey Ray. I have some pics of it but not really detailed. When I get home tonight, I will post it. All I did was mounted the side pods on properly to ensure both side are identical. Then I bolt it on, then trim the bottom of the side pods so the body can come off the car with good clearance. Then a fiberglass body man glass it in for me.

I'm a bit behind the ball but the wiring is being completed in 3 days or so this week. I coast this thing down my drive way and she felt good!! Lol..

Well folks.... The time has come. I drove this dune buggy for the first time this past weekend. I was stoked!! The motor is strong & responsive. Just need to bleed the brakes some more!
